Question

if x+y , y+z, z+x are in the ratio 6:7:8 and x+y+z=14 then the value of x is

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

given ratio =6:7:8

x+y+z=14

6/15, 7/14, 8/13 =14

6/15=2.5,7/14=2,8/13=1.5

2.5+2+1.5=14

6=14

6/14=2.3

x=2.3

Answer 2

Answer:

x=14/3

Step-by-step explanation:

x+y , y+z, z+x are in the ratio 6:7:8

let say

x+y = 6k

y+z = 7k

z+x = 8k

adding all three

2(x+y+z) =21k

putting value of x+y+z=14

2×14 = 21k

k = 4/3

y+z = 7k = 28/3

x = x + y +z -(y+z)

x =14 - 28/3

x = 14/3

z= 6
